1) Follow up every bad/selfish (stealing, cheating, killing, rape, lying (white lies to spare someone's feelings or to keep a surprise are ok) with a punishment (lose keys down a storm drain, fall down stairs, lotto tickets always lose, food expires, etc). Punishment depends on the severity of the intention.
2) Reward charitable behavior (Specifically: donating to charities, saving someone's life, adopting, caring for the elderly, cleaning up trash in the streets and parks, etc) (Rewards are simple things like finding a $10 bill on the ground or getting a random free RedBox coupon).
If I'm in control of the world:
3) Change laws of science so weapons like a-bombs, weaponized poison, weaponized diseases/germs will always end up a dud and have nuclear energy turn to harmless ash and un-creatable.
If I'm only in control of my town:
3) Create Progressive Jobs for people that range from no experience to very experienced and fix the state's financial woes by having them discover a new type of precious metal/jewel that can earn it income.
I don't want to overly spoil people by just giving them clean energy and food. I want them to have a fresh start and learn to be good instead of being bribed to be good.

1) Give everyone on the planet extreme empathy for others, human or animal.
2) Infinite resources, so maybe we'd stop fighting over them.
3) Have cures for all diseases, and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg to obtain them.

Send all the conservatives to a dome on mars.
Send everyone else who acts like a prick to a dome on mars.
Everybody gets to customize how they look whenever they want they just have to take a foolproof quiz on whether they must now live in a dome on mars.

First I'd cause Trump to violently and audibly shit his pants in the middle of a press conference, with the excrement visibly emerging from the bottom of his pants and washing over his shoes. Multiple reporters are able to capture this from several angles, and the pictures and video are aired on all major news channels (except Fox, lol).
Next I'd gift some copies of the pee tape to a few reporters in the United States and maybe the UK.
Finally, I'd gift Mueller with some smoking gun evidence against Trump and whoever else is guilty.

1. Allow mankind to teleport anywhere in the universe with the ability to survive in any atmosphere or the lack of atmosphere.
2. Everyone knows every language.
3. I'm trying to think of a good 3rd.
#1 allows us to go anywhere in the universe, becomes whoever and whatever we want. With this kind of freedom, politics become meaningless.

This pic upsets me since that's not how your hand looks when you have snapped your fingers.
Holy shit. How strong are the powers? I'm not sure the planet could survive that.
Give all humans better "Brain Vision" to see that there is no such thing as "Other" -- all life is simply Life in various forms.
Empathy is the logical & obvious outcome of this realization, and harming/controlling life only comes when our minds are able to suppress this obvious truth and turn other life-forms into "Other" that don't deserve to live freely.
Those who lack empathy are suffering from bad Brain Vision. They can "see" the life in themselves, and those close to them, but are unable to see in the distance that the 'Other' is simply them, just further away.

1. Eliminating bees from America and force America's to use the native bee that is green and produces honey by consuming sweat.
2. Fact checks must be displayed at every political rally worldwide.
3. Infinite resources as well as the Thanos finger snap the planet to help maintain population and to allow technological advances to run parallel and or out pace population growth.
4. Cure cancer
5. Insurance isn't required by law, but if you want it you are required to be offered it.
6. Make everything good come in fours instead of threes and see what happens out of science.

1) Give myself the ability to mind control people
2) Give myself 1,000,000,000,0000 U.S. dollars
3) Kill half the entire population.

One day out the year, everyone's mind is dosed with LSD and it's a national holiday. Everyone prepares for it and it's the best holiday every replacing Christmas.
Very poorly thought out plan actually. Such a waste of time.
Just do a "send all evil people to shadow realm". It's all encompassing.
Also: Grant me omniscience which I could use to figure out a plan to "fix everything and make everything in the world good for everyone".
Give myself the permanent power to make anything I can conceive of.
Undo all global warming effects and make all climate change deniers understand and accept the truth.
Cure all diseases forever.

How evil? I mean, if you kill someone (unless it's in self defense) or rape, or believe a group of people should die because they're a different race than you, are evil. If you take advantage of people who are weaker than you (elderly, kids, handicapped people) and you abuse them, then you are evil. And thus, deserving of death.
If you fall in the grey area -- you do things that are things that, while bad, are not evil -- you'd get to go to that other planet where no technology will ever be available and you'll have to live off the land to survive.
If you're just generally a good person that doesn't harm others (emotionally, physically, financially), then you get to live in the utopia realm. I guess it's sort of a heaven / earth / hell type of deal
1 - Eliminate all life-threatening and debilitating illnesses/diseases (cancers/cerebral palsy/etc)
2 - Heal the world, restore natural resources/extinct and endangered animals/ozone/pollution
3 - Create global cheap renewable clean energy while making coal/fossil fuels/etc unable to produce energy/pollution

His cultists would see it as a divine language that only a few chosen people can speak.
I'd just have him rant and confess everything and insult his followers for buying into everything he and the Right was scamming.
Make myself immortal
Make myself have to ability to phase through anything so nobody can trap me and I can steal millions of dollars
Make myself invincible

1.Reverse climate change.
2. Make Trump shit a pineapple every hour of everyday and make him mute with debilitating athritis that no medicine can treat.
3. Bring back Black Tea and Oolong Tea Sobe.

You know how to live!
1) Remove all heads of state.
2) Make all languages mutually understandable.
3) Remove all border demarcations.
1. Give myself all of supermans abilities without any weaknesses.
2. Give myself the ability to heal with just a single touch.
3. Give myself the ability to control time, pause, restart, travel forwards and backwards.

Step 1: Cat girls are a thing now. Deal with it.
Step 2: Make it so that Magic exists in the world in the truest sense, with myself at the top of the heap in levels of knowledge, and strength in that knowledge and skill, and ingrain in myself forever innate powers of my own design and making that can never be taken from me save by God. Make it so that magic can never be used for nuclear warhead level attacks on anything or anyone.
Step 3: Make knowledge freely available to all, forever, without anyone ever being able to charge, toll, or require anything in exchange for that knowledge save the person's own commitment to take the time to learn.
Step 4: Eliminate Cancer, forever, from the face of the earth.
Step 5: Create centers of healing, where all ailments, illnesses, and diseases can be treated for free, and access is never denied to anyone, completely making for profit hospitals, insurance, and health care systems extinct.
Step 6: Erase and eradicate all nuclear weapons, and nuclear reactors from the earth, then erase and forever bar humanity from ever having, knowing, or learning that knowledge ever again by engineering memory and learning so that it is impossible to relearn it.
Step 7: Create a renewable source of food and fruit widely available to all and never able to be hoarded or charged by any, so that no one ever goes hungry again.
Step 8: Take the homeless. The Downtrodden. Feed them, clothe them, shelter them in homes given to them by me, and rehabilitate them and give them the life all people should be graced with. One of happiness, joy, and the freedom to pursue their goals and dreams in life so long as it does not bring harm unto others.
Step 9: Heal the planet from all of the damage we as a species have done to it.
Step 10: See to it that all corruption is known to the world so that the justice may be done in a peaceful manner and those who have ever harmed others, gamed the systems, brought about ruin, or are mired in political corruption reap what they sow. In essence, up Karma is a ***** to 11.

Fuck free will. I'm turning all conservatives everywhere into SJW tree hugging socialist hippies.
Unfuck the environment.
Free perpetual clean energy sorces around the globe.

...can I just uncreate all forms of divinity/supernatural fuckery?
If I'm Bruce Almighty'd then I'd be faced with the realization that God actually exists, and that would bring to light a lot of things that won't let me sleep at night.
For one, wherever I got these powers from in the beginning? They'd go back. And all the shitty, terrible things that were allowed to happen in the world before my little upgrade? They'd get right back to it after I got my 3 "wishes".
So I guess that'd be my first and only action. Or... make it my third. First thing's first would be to create an actual truly benevolent, selfless, empathetic guardian for the planet. Something capable of solving the biggest problems with it's own superpowers like... global hunger... extinction level events... stuff like that. Second would be to give myself something selfish like infinite wealth or something. Third would be no more supernatural influences.

I'd make it so Reagan was never elected and see how thing shake out from there.
But also make it so Trump is never born, no matter anything else.

As far as Step 4 and Step 5 goes....
Would it not be simpler to just eliminate diseases and illnesses on a whole rather than just cancer and treating everything else?
1. All good tasting things are good for you; all else is bad. Yes, this is subject to each person's personal tastes.
2. All land is able to grow a steady, consistent variety of crops regardless of climate. Some even taste like meat.
3. All machines operate whenever we want them to without any external power source. No need for oil, electricity, coal, etc.

As weird as this may seem, and mind you I agree with you on the level of easing suffering and pain...mind you I hate saying this.
But, I think disease and decay is a part of the natural order of life, and is a way of balancing out things so that decay and entropy occurs naturally. The problem is, disease is kind of necessary because it acts as a way of culling over population in any life forms. Whether that be disease or bacteria itself, wildlife in the world, or humans in general. Flora and Fauna, I believe disease should exist to help balance these things out. Otherwise, things get out of control. Plus, eliminating all disease would mean eliminating some necessary forms of how nature has to break things down. And we've all seen how fragile some ecosystem chains are.
That having been said, I also believe in empowering humanity and nature to fight said diseases. Hence the centers of healing and making knowledge available to all. That way we continue to grow, learn, and develop as a species. Hopefully towards the betterment of us as a race as a whole.
Cancer is the one thing I would eliminate outright, as well as Alzheimer's and dementia now that I think about it. Because Cancer often is virulent, unstable, uncontrollable, and more often than not is a Death Sentence to those who are diagnosed with it. I have a deeply personal history involving cancer, having nearly lost close family to it, and having seen a Friend of mine wither away into a skeleton of a man because of it.
1. Prevent animals from being endangered.
2. Prevent natural disasters.
3. Allow me to change into anything to my heart's desires.
